The Jokic brothers do not play around when it comes to their brother.
Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic could be facing a suspension from the NBA after the league MVP was ejected Monday night in the fourth quarter against the Miami Heat for charging and blindsiding power forward Markieff Morris from behind in retaliation to a hard foul.
It all began after Jokic rebounded the ball and brought it downcourt. Morris, trying to stop play, gave a hard foul with his left elbow and body. An irate Jokic took a couple of steps and delivered a hard right forearm shove with his weight behind him to Morris’ back, sending the Heat forward flying hard to the floor. All hell broke loose.
Morris was assessed a flagrant foul 2 and Jokic was ejected before the Nuggets took a 113-96 win over Miami.
On Twitter, Marcus Morris took to his account and seemed to send out a threat.
“Waited till bro turned his back smh. NOTED”

The Jokic brothers would soon respond.
“@MookMorris2 You should leave this the way it is instead of publicly threatening our brother!Your brother made a dirty play first . If you want to make a step further be sure we will be waiting for you !! Jokic Brothers”
If you’re wondering whether this is their account or not, it has been confirmed.
“Just got a text from Jokic’s brother. This is their real account responding to Marcus Morris’s tweet last night.”
